PJ Harvey – DRY, Too Pure 33 1/3 rpm (UK ) 1992

 

2 lp set numbered limited edition 1000 copies w. demo versions

 

This is the classic debut album by PJ Harvey. Hard, free and full of rock poetry.

This 2 LP set came out in a limited run, long gone…

The second LP includes the raw 4 track demos made for the original record.

RAW and INTENSE – the demo versions has a very very  direct  – up-in- yr – face character, like no other recordings made on the Indie –scene.

The naked character, the intense texts and Polly´s piercing voice makes this album a very very special one. A musical BOMB!

To us, the energy reminds only about the best work of free jazz legends Ayler, Coltrane and Taylor.

A sensation when it first came and still a classic , no matter what genre is up yr alley.

All Harvey´s vinyl releases is worth looking for…  and there is a lot, released only on B –sides over the years. A treaure!

Music doesnt get better and freer then this!!! we kid u NOT!!!
